Cassey Ho's (Blogilates) has released a Hot Body Year Round book providing her Popster fans a go-to guide in leading a healthy lifestyle and I am so happy to have my own copy! :) And because I pre-ordered it I got a free tote bag as a gift- Thanks Cassey!

The book was bigger than I expected so it's not one you can carry around everywhere but it's definitely a good keep at home for when I do my yoga/pilates type exercises. It includes about the story of her life, easy recipes by season, tips on staying motivated and nutrition, and an array of interesting and fun pilates moves that requires no equipment.

I have been following Cassey on her Youtube for around 5 years now and love to follow her workouts on her channel as she delivers such positive energy in her videos, the workouts are fun and most of the time require no equipment. All you really need is a laptop/mobile and some space to get a workout in! I've taken a few photos so you can get a feel of what the book is like on the inside which you can see below. I really like how she's divided the book into Seasons so you can prepare dishes that go with the fresh in-season ingredients and allows you to focus on mastering the moves of each season and challenging yourself when a new season comes!

The book has been beautifully photographed and is really colourful, bright and happy (just like Cassey). Instructions are clearly laid out and so they're easy to follow. I'd say this book is more geared towards beginners or those who are just getting into the routine of exercising. Advanced exercisers are more likely to be using this book as an off day routine for conditioning. The book does provide great recipes to try out and I must say I was oohing and aaahing when I saw some of them so 
I'd give this book a 5 star taking into account the cost of the book (around HKD150 free shipping) all the exercised and recipes that are provided.

Feel free to comment in the below to ask my any questions about Cassey's book or any questions whether it's about me, fitness, healthy eating! :)

  1. Are the recipes vegan friendly?:)

    1. I wouldn't say all the recipes are vegan friendly but the ingredients can be substituted for something that is vegan friendly! Did you get the book? The big chunk of the book is showing you exercise moves more than recipes. Hope that helps! :)
